We Want You! Tomorrow

Brooklyn Green Team will be volunteering tomorrow from 10-2 at Prospect Park as part of It's My Park Day! Won't you join us?

Directions by Subway: Q train to Prospect Park subway station. Enter the Park, make a left at East Drive and walk south to the Wollman Rink.

Wear clothes that you do not mind getting dirty

Wear long pants, not shorts

Do not wear open-toed shoes or sandals

Do not bring a lot of baggage- there won’t be anywhere to lock it up

All necessary tools and materials will be provided

They will refill your water but bring your own. Also, we learned the hard way last time - no food! Grab something at the Greenmarket farmers market at Grand Army before heading in. You will surely be hungry.

rsvp now to brooklyngreen@gmail.com with your name and number in your party. Spots are limited.

Brooklyn Green Team is a grassroots organization devoted to reducing the environmental impact of ourselves and inspiring others to do the same by making small changes which make a big difference.

Our Eco-Challenges such as the No Plastic Bag Challenge or the Bring Your Own Mug Challenge asks individuals to pledge to make small lifestyle changes in order to make a difference through collective action.

Park Slope Food Co-op Recycling DaysSome of the plastic the city won't take can be taken to the co-op even if you are not a member, this includes #1 and #2 plastics (not bottes or jugs), #4, #5 (only cups, tubs, caps and lids), and plastic film like dry cleaning bags, wrappers, etc. (no cellophane). All the plastic must be very clean and dry, particularly the #5 plastic. The coop can only accept plastics at the designated times listed below, and you must be willing to remain with your plastic while workers help you to sort it.
